Australia should or should not allow more people to immigrate to this country from an economic point of view.

Does Australia need more people to help economic growth or need zero population growth to help upsurge the economy? (Kirkwood et al. 1987) This essay will argue that Australia should allow more people to immigrate to this country from an economic point of view for several reasons.

The first reason is migrants will help to increase the size of labour force. The shortages of labour force will be filled in by the migrants. (Kirkwood et al. 1987) Immigration has supply extra skilled labour without the cost of education and training. (Clark: 1997) The skilled people will contribute to the Australian economy by introducing new skills and experience to the workforce. (Clark: 1997) The labour force will be more adaptable and better trained, therefore, more productive. This may create the conditions for investment and growth.
